But I cannot connect to the lopy4. It doesn't work with COM5, not with COM3, and not with COM13.
When I connect through COM5, the console starts producing a continuous stream like this:
$GPGGA,,,,,,0,00,0.5,,M,,,,*00
$GPGSV,1,1,00,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,79
$GPGLL,,,,,235944.000,V,N77
$GPGGA,,,,,,0,0,,,M,,,,*1B
$GPGSA,A,1,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,*1E
$GPGST,235944.000,,,,0,,,74
$GPRMC,235944.000,V,,,,,,,,,,N40
$GPGSV,1,1,00,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,79
$GPGLL,,,,,235946.000,V,N75
etc.....

@combaindeft Just a side note: make sure to change the update.channel setting before uninstalling 1.31. I got burned after installing 3.10, since the updater runs before the settings get saved. So 3.10 saw the old update.channel setting, so it updated to 1.31.

@kgunnar Ralph is busy working on the fix now. Hopefully, it won't be much longer. I believe others have confirmed manually rolling back and installing VSCode 1.30 is a temp fix. but VScode seems to ignore its option telling it to not auto update at times so you may lose it again.

Jupp.

A) 1st make sure to disable auto-update ... or it'll sneak it in again :-)

@ralph Looks like you've got a job on your hands keeping up there! I hope you can update the plugin because despite me setting VS Code not to update (I was pretty sure I had) it did, so when I came to start on this tonight of course no Pymakr extension. Had to rollback VS Code again.

I'm also having this issue. I was just using pymakr yesterday but today when I opened up VS Code today, it was nowhere to be found. Ctrl+Shift+C responds with "command 'pymakr.connect' not found". I don't recall my VS Code updating between then and now but I just checked my VS Code version:

So it did update. I switched updating to manual but I can't use pymakr at the moment... is a fix imminent or do I need to take other steps to try and get back to work again? Is this strictly an issue with the serialport library? I also use PlatformIO with VS Code rather extensively and have never had issues connecting to serial or otherwise when VS Code has updated.

@changeddaily Looks like vscode released their version with an updated version of electron, which means that the precompiled serialport library that's included in Pymakr is now out of date again. I'll rebuild it and release a hotfix for it today.

Hi,
I actually started with V1.30.2 and 1.0.5, I only went back to V1.25.1 as suggested in the related thread. Anyway, I've gone back to the latest for both (V1.30.2 and 1.0.5), still the same. But... I must admit I am a bit new to VSCode (I use Visual Studio) so I tried closing the "Workspace" I had created and the Pymakr toolbar appeared and it connected to the board. After a bit of investigation it turns out that I had the workspace pointing to the scripts folder so boot.py, main.py and pymakr.conf weren't seen. Changing this has fixed it.
Thanks

HI @ChangedDaily, which OS and which version of VSCode are you using? Try running it on vscode v1.30.2. Also try to reinstall pymakr and see if you get any errors while installing. Make sure you're installing pymakr 1.0.5.
Let me know what happens
